Similar to previous few sessions, it succumbed to selling pressure and turned negative intraday. Some buying in the last few hours helped the index close with a gain of 0.3%. Of Nifty50 stocks, 62% of the stocks advanced. Barring Nifty Media and Financial-related sectors, all the sectoral indices closed in the green. Nifty Pharma (+1.8%) and Metal (+1.4%) were the top advancers. The advance-decline ratio was in favor of advancers. Of 2,255 stocks traded, 1,157 advanced, 736 declined, and the rest remained unchanged. FIIs net sold shares worth Rs 1,092 crore, while DIIs net bought shares worth Rs 416 crore. Nifty breached its 21- and 50-DMA on Monday, after hovering around its key moving averages in the past few weeks. Index breaching its moving averages is a sign of weakness. Yesterday, it found resistance around its 50-DMA. We will change the status to a Downtrend, if Nifty doesn’t retake its 50-DMA and if market leaders show signs of deterioration in their price actions.
